Dom: Guys, I'm sorry for not keeping my promise of updating everyday. I tried. I really did, but the previous week was seriously loaded with activities plus with all the studying I had to do so I'm sorry. I have to prioritize my studies first so I hope you can understand me *bows*

Kise was nervous. Like really nervous.

It's his first date in a while with a girl he really likes and he really hopes he doesn't screw this up.

Months of begging and pleading, he finally got a date with one Higurashi Kagome. He won't pass up the chance given to him.

Stopping in front of the shrine's stairs, he took a breath before climbing up. He arrived at the top with a light sheen of sweat; he wiped his face with a handkerchief. Jeez, who was the mad man that thought it was a good idea to have hundreds of steps?

Walking towards the wooden door, he knocked on it softly. He heard a muffled 'I got it' then a padding of footsteps before the door was open. The model looked down and saw a pair of blue-grey eyes similar to his date, "Souta-kun!" he greeted the young boy as he ruffled the dark locks.

"Ryouta-nii-san!" the boy exclaimed back. "I can't believe you're the guy nee-chan is going on a date with! It's been a while since she went out on one and it's a first of seeing her actually pampering herself and taking her time to look good for a date. Come in, come in!" he ushered the older boy inside their home.

"Ah, Ryouta-kun, nice to see you again," Kun-loon smiled at the blonde. "I didn't know you were the guy taking our Kagome-chan on a date. She must really like you for her to take this long."

"I'm sorry, what?" Kise chuckled confusedly.

"Nee-chan has been up there for HOURS and when I took a look of her room, it was a mess. A lot of clothes strewn around and shoes. It was just one big mess I tell you," Souta explained while shaking his head amusedly.

"Do you want me to call her?"

"U-Uh, no, it's okay, really," Kise put out his hands in front of him. "She can take her time—"

"Nonsense," Kun-loon shook her head. "Like Souta-kun has said, she has been up there for hours. I'll go fetch her," the mother went up the stairs with a determined look on her face.

It was silent between two boys. Souta broke it though by asking:

"Do you really like my nee-chan? Or is this just a game to you?" the younger boy stared hard at him.

"W-What? Of course, I like her!" Kise was flabbergasted.

Souta narrowed his gaze on him in suspicion, "If I find out that this just a game to you, I'll make sure your career as a basketball player and a model is finished," he threatened.

Kise gulped and nodded shakily. Who knew the younger Higurashi could be so scary?

"DEMON BEGONE!" The model was shaken out of his thoughts when something was suddenly plastered on his forehead, blocking his vision.

"J-JII-SAN!"

"OJII-SAN!"

"TOU-SAN!"

Souta and Kun-loon immediately pulled the old man away from the teenager.

"I-I am so sorry, Ryouta-kun," Kagome ran up to him, leaning up to get the ofuda from his head. "My grandfather can be crazy from time to time…"

"Crazy?! I'm not crazy, Kagome. This kid is way too tall with too inhumane looks! He must be a demon!" Grandpa Higurashi defended himself.

'I wonder how he'll react when he meets Murasakibaracchi,' Kise absentmindedly thought.

Kagome sighed, "Jii-san, not all good-looking and tall guys are demons. Jeez, just because you met Sesshomaru-sama, you suddenly think all demons are like that. Well, we have to go now. See you later, Kaa-san," she kissed her mother and her grandfather goodbye. Patting Souta's head on the way before leaving the house with Kise in tow.

"Again, I'm sorry about my grandfather's behavior," Kagome apologized.

"It's alright," Kise chuckled as he removed the remnants of the glue from his hair. "Crazy is okay once in a while. It makes things interesting which reminds me, I'm 'good-looking'?" he teased.

Kagome flushed, "S-Shut up! There are thousands of girls who would agree with me that statement."

"True," Kise hummed, "but they're not you."

The flush on Kagome's face got even darker even crawling down to her neck and to her tips of her ears.

"You look beautiful by the way," Kise finally let out his teasing and smiled at her genuinely. She does look beautiful. She was wearing white fitted jeans and strapless purple, flow-y top partnered with gold bracelets and a black watch. Her ears were pierced with matching gold heart earrings and her feet adorns a black and brown sandals. Her hair was lightly curled and her face was free of makeup save for her lips which were covered in pale pink lipgloss.

"Th-Thank you," Kagome slightly blushed at the compliment. "You look handsome. As always."

Kise chuckled before wrapping an arm around her, "I heard from a squirt that you took hours to dress up for our date. Is that true?"

"M-Maybe…"

"May I ask why?"

"Because you always look good no matter what the occasion is. I don't want to ruin your image."

The model continued to chuckle, "Tch, you won't ruin my image ever. Though you're going to break a lot of hearts in the long run."

"I should say the same to you."

"Mah, who cares about them?" Kise kissed her on the head. "Right now, all I care is that this gorgeous girl in my arm is going on a date with me. I really am a lucky guy, don't you think?"

"I think I should be the one saying that," Kagome relaxed in his hold and leaned against him.

"Nah," Kise shook his head as they go down the long stairs.

The way she take hours to dress, but in the end it's all worthwhile.

Dom: Before I go to sleep every night, I get all guilty for not being able to update, but I seriously can't you know. I mean every time, I'm done studying and just lay down on my bed, my whole body practically aches and as soon as I close my eyes, I get lulled to sleep so, all I can say is I'm sorry… Hope you enjoyed though *smiles*
